Gum bleeding and loose tooth

Question

My canine tooth hurts a bit when i press it really hard and i think its kind of loose(or maybe im crazy) and the top of the tooth, where it connects to my gum is bleeding a bit. Im fourteen and i have all my adult teeth now. Will my tooth fall out? It isnt that loose. It stuck on pretty good but whenever i touch it with my tongue i get this weird feeling in it too. If i brush my teeth 3 times a day and drink a lot of milk, will it be okay?

There are several reasons why bleeding gums occur, it may be caused by vigorous brushing of teeth or which is also known as toothbrush abrasion. Or it may be a symptom of a gum infection. When bleeding gums is left untreated, it can progress to periodontal of gum disease. Periodontal disease can cause gums to persistently bleed, swell and recede. If left untreated gum infection will spread throughout the other parts of the body triggering certain medical conditions to occur, and eventually tooth loss can happen.

The best thing that you will do is to see your dentist to know the underlying cause of your bleeding gums. Proper diagnosis will be done and right treatment will be administered.

To prevent it form happening again, you should practice superior oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth regularly. You can also use a warm water and salt solution as a mouth rinse to prevent bacteria build up and ti speed up the healing of bleeding gums.
